Very good advice! A table mounted router is the best way to "prep" the edges of acrylic, and it keeps the pieces square.

As far as your leak, it's usually not a good sign when something leaks,...

You can get away with 3/8" if you have baffles and a top brace. I would not use 1/4" at all, as thats a bit large for 1/4". Of course 1/2 is always nice. HTH.

I wouldn't built that size tank out of that thickness, we rarely built a 96x48x24 out of .750 polycast. You are definitely going to want to go with 1.00 front/back/sides and .750 top and bottom. To...

Actually that's not that bad of a price, for retail. Of course it depends on what brand of acrylic you are getting, but I'm not sure you will be able to get it much cheaper than that, unless you are...

Doug,

Micro-mesh is probably the best kit out there for removing scratches. It can be used inside our outside the tank, not a problem!

Hope that helps.

Umm.. totally inaccurate. 1/2" is fine for a tank this size, being that the top is adaquately braced.

Hate to tell you but a "ton of bubbles in the seams" is *generally* not a very strong joint and can lead to a breakdown later on. I believe that they only have a 90 day warranty, so if the tank...
